It has been five years since the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan, as western forces left, imposing their extreme, ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam on millions of people.
Their return to power brought relative peace to the country after two decades of war.
But Afghan women have been erased from public life. Girls are banned from school from the age of 12, and aren’t allowed to go to university.
Public parks are also off limits to women – and they can’t travel abroad without a male companion.

The ranking don't mean much if the citizens of that country don't travel for various reasons.
I travel the world, sometimes i have a long layover, and i might consider visiting the city for few hours but i would not for for visa just for few hours or a day. Cities such as Dubai, – just high rise building for rich tourist.
Moscow, don't feel safe
From Phnom phen, Cambodia to Ho Che Ming, not for 1 night, i won't pay $60 visa. My travel schedule was too short.
I accidentally planed a 5 days layover in Tokyo without a visa, they issued me one in an hour 😅

As a holder of a 🇵🇱 Polish passport, I am so glad to have been born in the 90s because now when I am adult the passport is very strong, and when I was a kid it was very weak. Poland has come a long way, and we have one of the best passports in the world!

Henly Passport Index is wrong. It says Spain doesn't need a visa to Australia but it does need an e-visa like most EU countries. This is bollocks.

Many countries take a reciprocal approach to visas. If your country requires a visa for nationals of a given country, you'll probably require one yourself to travel to that country.
